Default Got my C8

Good morning everyone. I just purchased a C8 yesterday at Westphal Chevrolet in Aurora, IL. The buying process could not have been better. My salesman Mike made the entire buying process smooth and enjoyable. I now just have to wait for the wing and ground effects options to be installed and I can pick it up next week. Here’s a few pictures of the before the wing ground effects.






Its funny, Mike took a couple of pictures and the car looks orange



Im going to have to change my signature line 😂

Details man! We need details! Trim level, interior pics, options? What rear treatment are you going with.... Z-51 spoiler, high wing, low profile?

Congrats on the new ride.

High wing
Performance exhaust

black interior with red seatbelts
carbon flash mirrors
edge red calipers.

dealer optioned the car but it’s real close to what I would’ve chosen. Can’t wait to pick it up

Nice looking ride. Congrats!
I can not imagine not having a rear spoiler on the C8 stingray. The spoiler just changes the looks dramatically. I ordered a 24 this week with the Z51 spoiler.

Congratulations! That's painful to wait until next week to take your car home! It's like putting a pint of Ben and Jerry's in front of me and telling me I can't have any!

Enjoy!
